I have the same problem with a GZ250 I've been nursing back to running condition, and bought new fork seals and wipers to replace the old ones.

There is also a small copper gasket at the bottom bolt which I'll have to pick up, but the really frustrating thing just now is that there is some sort of special tool which I don't think the service manual mentions for the step 'Remove the inner tube from the outer tube'. It looks like there's some sort of locking piece at the bottom of the tube which needs to be removed before you can separate the inner and outer tubes... or maybe I'm just being a sissy and need to muscle them apart... but I'm not really in the mood to buy new forks if I destroy the old ones so I was wondering if anyone has experience with this bit?
